Singer Beyonce Knowles at the VMA. London - Arabstoday Beyonce Knowles’s announcement that she is expecting her first child stole the show the MTV Video Music Awards. “I want you to feel the love that’s growing inside me,” she was said to have told fans on the red carpet outside the award. While performing Love On Top at the awards show, she took off her jacket to reveal a baby bump. Her representative later confirmed to gossip site Just Jared that she is pregnant. The announcement, which sent the Twittersphere into a BEYONCE IS PREGNANT overdrive, overshadowed rival pop diva Lady Gaga’s performance in drag as alter ego Joe Calderone. “The announcement comes after a stellar summer for the Grammy-winner in which she headlined Glastonbury and released another hit album, 4,” enthused Andrea Magrath of The Daily Mail, who noted that the former Destiny’s Child singer has been hinting for months in interviews that she’d like to start a family. Tributes to the recently-deceased Amy Winehouse flooded in on the night. Legendary soul singer Tony Bennett paid tribute to Amy Winehouse and introduced a clip of the pair singing Body and Soul. Bennett said: “She was a true jazz artist in the tradition of Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday. She had the gift.” Meanwhile, Adele and Katy Perry were the big winners at the ceremony, walking away with four and three Moonmen gongs, respectively. (Periscopepost)
